Why Choose Shopify

Shopify isn’t just an e-commerce platform — it’s a streamlined, scalable system for building an online store that grows with you. Here’s why we recommend it to founders, product-based businesses, and teams ready to scale with clarity:

frequently asked questions

What kinds of businesses are the best fit for a Shopify site?

Shopify is built for product-based businesses. If you’re selling physical products, managing inventory, running a retail shop with online integration, or offering subscriptions, Shopify is likely the right platform. If e-commerce is only one part of your business or if your site needs more content-rich storytelling, we may recommend using Shopify as a sub-site or exploring a hybrid approach. We’ll help you determine what setup best serves your goals.

What’s the difference between a custom and a customized Shopify website?

Not every project needs a fully custom build — and not every theme is the right fit out of the box. A customized Shopify site starts with a high-quality existing theme that we adapt for your brand and business needs, adjusting layouts, styling, and content. A custom Shopify site, on the other hand, is designed and built from scratch, often with unique templates and functionality across multiple pages. We’ll guide you through the decision so you’re investing where it matters most and getting the right foundation for your store.

Will I be able to update my Shopify site after it’s built?

Yes, that’s one of the strengths of Shopify. You’ll be able to manage products, update collections, change content, and handle inventory through an intuitive dashboard. We’ll provide training on any custom sections or unique features we build so your team feels confident making updates long after launch.

How long does it take to build a custom Shopify website?

Timelines vary depending on complexity. A streamlined, theme-based site can take 2–3 months, while a fully custom Shopify build may take 4 to 6 months or more. We always prioritize strategy and clarity upfront, so what we build aligns with your goals and supports long-term growth, not just a fast launch.

Can you help migrate my site from another platform to Shopify?

Yes. Whether you’re coming from WooCommerce, Squarespace, BigCommerce, or another platform, we can help transition your products, content, and functionality into Shopify. The process and tools used vary depending on the platform, so we’ll start with a clarity call or technical strategy session to plan the right path forward.

Do you offer post-launch support or maintenance for Shopify sites?

We do. Our Support Services include everything from strategic updates to small technical fixes, Shopify version upgrades, and guidance on app changes or performance improvements. You’ll never be left wondering who to turn to if something shifts or breaks. We’re in this with you long-term.

Can you help with SEO for my Shopify store?

Yes, both technically and strategically. Shopify includes built-in SEO tools, and we can help with on-page best practices like meta titles, structured content, alt text, and speed optimization. Strong SEO also relies on strategic content, so we often collaborate with SEO-focused copywriters to ensure your store is visible and compelling.

Can you integrate my CRM, email marketing platform, or inventory system with Shopify?

Absolutely. We’ve worked with a wide range of integrations — from Klaviyo and Mailchimp to ShipStation, and other tools. The goal is to make your store an operational hub: connected, streamlined, and efficient.

Do you build custom Shopify themes or work from existing ones?

Both. Some businesses benefit from a fully custom Shopify theme, with every page designed and built to match specific needs. Others get great results by customizing a premium theme and adding bespoke sections or pages. We’ll help you determine which approach delivers the best value and flexibility for your goals.

Can you help with Shopify subscriptions or memberships?

Yes. We’ve worked with tools like Recharge and native Shopify subscription features to implement recurring billing, product subscriptions, and member access. We’ll help you identify the right tools, plan for functionality, and ensure everything integrates cleanly with your business model.

Do you help with Shopify app recommendations and setup?

We do. We’ve worked with many of the most common apps and can help you evaluate what’s necessary, what’s redundant, and what aligns with your long-term needs. If there’s an app you’ve already identified, we’ll review it with you and provide feedback or alternatives if we think there’s a better option.

Can you create a custom product page or unique checkout experience?

Yes, and we do it often. Custom product pages can help highlight unique features, tell a better story, and improve conversions. Shopify’s native checkout is trusted and optimized, so we only recommend customizing it when there’s a very clear business case and matching budget. If needed, we’ll map out the best approach and provide a plan and estimate.

Can you help with international selling, currencies, or multi-language stores?

Yes. Shopify’s Markets feature supports multi-currency and localized experiences, and we also work with apps for language translations or regional pricing strategies. Whether you’re selling globally now or planning to expand, we’ll help configure a smart, scalable setup.

Can you improve or rebuild my existing Shopify site?

Absolutely. We often start with a site audit to evaluate what’s working and where improvements are needed. From there, we’ll recommend whether to improve the existing setup, redesign key pages, or rebuild altogether. Our goal is to create a site that works better for your business and your customers, not just one that looks better.

What’s the difference between Shopify and Shopify Plus — and do I need Plus?

Shopify Plus is built for high-volume or enterprise-level businesses. It offers advanced automation, custom checkout functionality, higher API limits, and multi-store management. Most businesses can begin on standard Shopify and upgrade later. If you’re scaling fast, managing large catalogs, or need complex integrations, we’ll help you assess whether Plus is the right move.

Do you offer branding or product photography support for Shopify sites?

Yes. We work with brand strategists and visual designers to ensure your site reflects your identity with clarity and confidence. For photography, we can recommend product photographers based on your location or needs. Whether you’re just starting or refining your brand presence, we’ll make sure your visual assets align with your site and your goals.
